How Train Wreckers Are Treated
---Recent Assassinations.


CITY OF MEXICo, May 1S.-About a
week ago train on the Mexican
National railroad ran over and killed a
Mexican near PatZcuaro. The friends
of the dead man undertook to retaliate,
and put big rock on curve, and the

and Il Mexican fireman killed. Jeje
PoliticO sent a squad of Mexican gen
d'armes with instructions to bring in
every person suspected of any compile
ity whatever, or any information.
Thirty-three arrests were made. The
investigation resulted in the selection of
three victims, and sentence was i'm
mediately passed. Shortly after
sunrise yesterday morning the
three were marched to the
up before a wall, and file of soldiers at
ten PAGES distant fired a volley at them.
The men fell at the first fire. A sergeant
stepped forward to the bodies, put re-
volver close to each head and blew out
their brains. The cOrpseS lay some time
where they fell as warning against
more train Wrecking, and were buried
near the scene of the wreck. Manuel
Sanchez, of PachecO, state of HidalgO,

as she remained faithful, he rushed up
on the husband, stabbing him through
the heart and severely wounding the
wife as she endeav0red to protect her
husband. The assassin was arrested.

THE GERARD SCRIP.

: WASHINGTON, May 1S.--Acting Com
missioner Stockslager has refused the
application of Lester A. Bartlett to To-
cate with Gerard scrip certain lands Oh
the lake front in the city of Chicago, for
the reason that: '.There are 10 public

day, and had interviews with each of

The radical press call upon, NJ. Cleman-

Special to the Globe
NEW YORK, May fS.-aA World special
from Augusta, Me-, tomorrow, will say:
Those who have followed Blaine's move
ments since he became an aspirant for
the presidential chair are not surprised
10 learn that his trip to Europe will not
be solely for the benefit Of his health.
Although the Maine statesman is greatly
alarmed at his physical condition, he
sees III Europe, and more particularly
IN ireland, field for a political boom
winch has never before been won ked.
IN other words, the Plumed Knight
means to parade Europe as an Irish
Sympathlzer, and rely upon the Irish
American press to glorffy him in the
eyes or the friends of Ireland. Soon
after his arrival in England Mr.. Blaine
VIII visit Gladstone and put him
sell In cooperation with the
great leader of the Home Rule
party. After a fitting reception it is his
intention to be dined in public at home
rule clubs, and in speeches and toasts to
vent his views on the Irish question in
the heart of London. From England
the Pl9med Knight will make pilgrim
age TO Ireland. If it can be arranged
Parnell will accompany him, and to-
gether the two statesmen will receive
ovatiOns from the people, address public
meetings and create such an enthusiasm
as no American citizen has yet evoked
in Ireland. Mr.. Blaine will have Sc
cured the Endorsement Of Gladstone.
and he expects that his arraignment of
English oppression in home rule clubs
will arouse the London press Preceded
by this. his trip through Ireland will be
grand triumphant tour, with warm
welcome on every hand. For some
time the Maine statesman has been
in conference with prominent Irishmen.
This brings to mind the mysterious
visit of Patrick Ford, editor of the Irish
World, to Augusta last July. Mr.. Ford
made flying visit and was drawn di-
rectly to the Augusta house from the
train, where he refused to register or give
his name. Soon after his arrival Mr..
Blaine drove up in his carriage and took
Mr.. Ford a long drive down the river to
Hallowell. On their return they were
closetcd together in Mr.. Ford's room for
several hours and the latter left sud
denly on the midnight train. Joe Man.
ley, Gov. BOdwell and other faithful fol-
lowers who are reported to be getting
ready to accompany Mr.. Blaine. will
pose with him. SO Manley will be en-
trusted the details of the trip, as usual.
while the others will follow their chief
as counsellOrS and add to the general
effect of the return.

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Hundreds Hemmed in by Forest Fires
in Michigan.
Fears That Many Will be Cremated--
Wide Spread Flames.

DETROIT, Mich, May 1s.-A special
from Marquette says: At 8 o'clock to
night news was received from Camp 8,
Oh the Summit division of the Duluth,
South Shore d. Atlantic railroad eXten-
sion, that the camp is surrounded by
fire. George Grolet, timber contractor,
and eight men escaped through mile
of fire and smoke, leaving 300 Italians
in the camp fighting for their lives.
Every available. dish, including cooking
utensils, is in use, and the only water
available is from well and a smallcreek
some, distance away. An attempt was
made to remove the sick men OF the
party, but it failed. When Grolet and
his party were short distance away
they heard great shouting and saw big
flames, and believe that the camp was
burned. If so, it is feared that there
will be a great loss of life among the
panic stricken Italians. The supplies
and buildings are valued at $4,000. The
report is authentic and fears are felt for
the men in camp. The camp was owned
by +. c. O'Reilly d CO., of New York.
Forest fires are starting again on the
peninsula. They are raging fiercely
southwest of this city. South of
Antrian, east of Lame and southwest
of Baragua. In the vicinity of Negau-
nee and Ishpeming they were very Sc
we're and are now burning large tracts
Of valuable hardwood timber. All the
employees Of the Champion mine turned
out to fight fire and save the mine loca-
ton and cordwood. All along the high
lands of Portage lake, between the canal
and West Hancock it is doing heavy
damage. The location of the Hancock
mine is in imminent danger, and large
force is fighting hard near the Quincy,
Franklin and Pewabic mines. Thou
sands of cords of wood are burned, the
wind is stiff and the forests are dry.
Nothing but speedy and copious rain

A NEW sUPREME JUDGE.

The vacancy on the supreme court
bench created by the death of Judge
WOODS gives opportunity for the APP
pointment of Democrat. However
much Judge WOODS death may be re-
GREETED, it is fortunate that this oppor-
tunity is presented. All the members of
the supreme court, as it is at present con-
stituted, were appointed by Republican
administrations and were appointed as
Republicans. the only Democratic mem
member of the court being an appointee
of Mr.. LINCoLN'S; and he was Repub-
lican ut the time he was appointed. 1t
would be Il great reform i'll governmental
affairs if political considerations has no
weight i'll making judicial appoint
ments. But SO long as it is necessary
for political parties to exist and people
divide in their views on constitutional
questions it will be impossible to keep
PARTISAN politics apart from the
Judiciary. InaSmuch as these judi
cial appointments are to be the
creatures of partisan politics.
the best thing that could occur would be
to have and to keep the supreme court
a.
1t is unfortunate for the court itself as
we'll as for the country at large, that the
highest tribunal of the land should be
One-Sided political affair. 1t detractS
from the usefulness of the court, and all
of its decisions affecting political mat
tiers are received with suspicion by the
public. If, instead of being almost
soliHy Republican, the Democrats had
preponderance of the court, then il
would clearly be Mr.. CLEvELAND'S
duty to appoint a Republican. The very
reason which would make it his duty to
appoint Republican under such cir
cumStanceS now makes it his duty to
appoint Democrat. The one thing
needful in the supreme court of the
United States is political equaliZa-
ton.
The question of who shall be the ap-
pointee and from what section will he
come is the one now uppermoSt among
Democrats. New York and the New
England states are anxious to secure
the appointment. There are urgent
reasons why the Northwest should be
recognized in this matter. But conced-
ing that geographical location Will have
an important influence in the matter. it
is reasonable to suppose that Judge
WOODS successor will be taken from
the section he represented. And it is
right that it should be so. The South is
entitled to at least one member of the
supreme court. and as this right was
recognized by Republican administra-
ton. it is hardly to be expected that it
will be ignored by Il Democratic presi-
dent. There is one thing, however, that
Mr.. CLEVELAND should remember in
connection with this appointment. The
new Judge should be representative of
the ideas of the New South. and not one
who is weighed down with the traditions
and prejudices of past generation.
There is already too much antique tim
Der in the supreme bench. The court
needs an infusion of young blood and
brains. Men Of vitality as well as of
ability are needed on the bench. Now
is the presidents opportunity to do the
nation great service by appointing an
associate justice who will combine phys
zeal vigor with mental strength and
legal learning.

THE COWHIDE.

The whipping post was abolished on
The ground that it was relic of barbar-
ism which should not be tolerated in an.
enlightened age. And yet, after all,
there has been no substitute found equal
10 ii as correct0r of public morals. As,
all effective instrument of punishment
the h0rSewhip has never had an equal.
Ii is something to make the stoutest
heart quail. Reckless criminals who
could step upon the gallowS without the.
sign of fear, have been known to tremble
as the aspen leaf when made to face the
whipping post. Notwithstanding the
whipping post has been abolished. it is
some qualification to know that the
horSewhip continues to exert healthy
influence over the morals of the COM
munity. Since men III their cowardice
have fOreSwOrn the coWhide. it is to the.
credit of women that they have taken
up the work where the men laid it down.
a horsewhip in the hands of an outraged
woman is the most effective,
as it is the most appropriate, form of
punishment that could be devised for
certain grades of crime. 1t is also graft
tying to observe that as a rule the wO-
men exercise rare discretion and judg-
ment in the matter of its application. 1t
wouldn't do to supply every virago with
Il cowhide and grant her the privilege
to whale it into people promiscuously
every time she got cut of temper. But
when woman is insulted by stranger
or mistreated by her husband then the
cowhide comes into proper play. There
can be no Sublimer exhibition of moral
heroiSm than when a nervy little woman
takes upon herself the tas:, OF avenging
some helpless sisters maltreatment by
hunting up the brutal tyrant Of hus-
band and warming his jacket for him.
The man who miStreatS a woman, and
especially if that woman is his wife, de-
serves to have his back scarfied. And
as long as the men refuse to do justice
i'll this halter the women are perfectly
right in undertaking it themselves. 1t
would be a good idea to organize a
woman's horse-whipping society in
every community. 1t would have a
wonderful effect in regulating society,
and particularly in securing the most
happy domestic relations. Women have
q great deal more use for the cowhide
than they have for the ballot.

BosToN, Mass, May 1S.-Mary O'Hara,
a woman 80 years of age, who has been
living like hermit in howell at North
boro, Mass, was found dead in her
rickety hut to-day. She was misery to
an extreme, and large amount of
wealth was found Secreted in the howell.
Mary O'Hara went there from New
York, where she buried her husband
about thirty years ago. She took up her
abode in a small rickety building
situated on the outskirts of the town.
She lived entirely alone, with the
exception of large number of cats,
dozen or more of which were constantly
with her. A search was made for suit
able clothing in which to bury the
woman, and her lovel was found to be
full of old clothes and useless arti-
cles of all kinds. which had been
given her. There is presumption that
the deceased left a will. and it is thought
that secreted about her late home may
be more money, and possibly articles of
value, as well as papers that will give
some account of her life and furnish
clue as to who her relatives are in New
York.
